Is it possible to promote while on transition leave? I should be eligible to promote to CPT in January and my ETS date is 15 Jan. Thanks in advance.

If you have been recommended for promotion and have not yet left the military, you can be promoted. However, unless you transfer to the Inactive Ready Reserve, Reserve or National Guard, you will not be able to accept your promotion.

Pretty much all promotions carry some sort of ADSO. Receiving and acceptins promotion to CPT means your ETS is no longer 15 Jan.

I was going to say the same thing, but I looked it up and officer promotions don't carry an ADSO. They just have to serve in that position for three years if they want to retire at that rank.

You will promoted as of 01JAN. Now enduring your DD214 reflects will be hit or miss. The Army likes the norm. Anything just outside of that (aka a promotion two weeks prior to ETS) can throw them through a loop. But you are entitled to the promotion, and your DD214 should reflect your CPT rank.
Good luck!
Good luck!
